François Nars’ iconic innovation: the original multi-purpose stick for eyes, cheeks, lips, and body.

Inspired by a 1996 Harper’s Bazaar photoshoot, The Multiple has maintained its status as a beauty essential since its creation. Using only lipstick for the lips, cheeks, and eyes, François created a stunning monochromatic look on supermodel Carolyn Murphy, starting a phenomenon around effortless artistry. Today, anyone can emulate his iconic creativity or embark on their own journey of self-expression with the original multipurpose makeup stick.

The Multiple’s unique creamy formula and sheer color blend effortlessly to create shimmering accents; contours or dynamic highlights on all skin tones. The mistake-proof cream-to-powder color is quick and easy to apply, leaving a seductively sheer, natural finish with a lightweight, non-greasy feel. Perfect for highlighting, sculpting, and warming the eyes, cheeks, lips, and body in an array of shades, from sheer accents to mauve and bronze.

Arkived Because:

Unconsumed Stock

Most common, simply caused by overproduction of goods and too large inventory levels created by brands. 

Flaw

There product has a flaw, with the most-common flaw being a packing 'error.' Meaning, the product is 100% perfect though there is a simple flaw.

Reaching Due Date

Discontinued Item

Brands often change their inventory and if sales for a certain product stagnate, it can cause a discontinuation of an item. Might also happen when a brand discontinues its entire operations.

Limited Collection

There was a fictive limited supply of given collection due to brands' marketing campaign. The leftover stock is kept off the market to stimulate this fictive supply for profit protection.
